Dui Reduced To Dry Reckless: How Will This Affect Your Driving Record?

In California, a DUI charge is reduced to a dry reckless if the defendant has no previous DUIs on their record and the blood alcohol content was .08 or lower. How will this affect your driving record?

If you are convicted of a dry reckless, your driving record will show one conviction for reckless driving. The conviction will stay on your record for 10 years. However, the DUI will not be included on your driving record. This means that if you are convicted of a DUI in the future, the court may consider this first conviction when determining your sentence.
